This engaging collection examines the personal narratives of a select group of well-respected educators who attained biliteracy when they were young students, and in the era before bilingual education. These autobiographical accounts celebrate and make visible a linguistic potential that has been largely ignored in schools—the inextricable and emotional ties that Latinos have to Spanish. The authors offer teachers important lessons about the individual potential of their Latino students. These stories of tenacity and resilience offer hope for a new generation of bilingual learners who are too often forced to choose between English and their native language.
Although Sebastian isn't all words, he would also take action in seducing Valerie. He's always put so much into his words and has always counted on them. From flirting to advice, and even life lessons. He would do best through his words. When he lied to Valerie and damaged her trust in him, he tried doing and saying anything to get her back and get her to forgive him. She refused to hear him out and forgive him, since he tried to seduce her with his words from the beginning. But now, to win her back, he feels that all he ever gave was his words, and all he was left to use were his words. Since even his actions didn't work, all he can provide is his words. She's the one that has to choose whether to forgive him or not.
